The Spin

Narrative A

While the monsoon season brings floods and landslides to Nepal every year, scientists said that climate change is exacerbating the problem as the rainfall has become worse each year in the Himalayan nation. It's vital to address the existential climate threat immediately.

Narrative B

This recent flooding underscores the urgent need for stronger infrastructure and disaster preparedness. While climate change may have worsened rainfall in this tragedy, a lack of disaster preparedness and climate-resilient infrastructure is the pressing tactical issue that must be addressed.
